How to Default to "Connect As: Guest" when Printing?

I can print from my iMac running Snow Leopard to a Windows XP printer over my LAN. However, every time I print I have to select Guest from the "Connect As" option. How do I default this so it automatically prints as Guest? (The printer is a Canon MultiPASS MP730.) I have this same problem when printing from either of my MacBooks which run Leopard.

There is a method where you can create a queue with the user details. This is done by adding the Advanced icon to the Add Printer toolbar and then adding the details to the Windows queue as
smb://username:password@ipaddress/sharename
where the IP address is that of the Windows computer sharing the printer.
But I would suggest you look at enabling the LPD service in XP and then you can print without having to authenticate.
In Windows, open Control Panel and then open Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and then select 'Other Network File and Printing Services' in the Wizard list. Select the Details button and enable Print Services for Unix. OK this and complete the Wizard.
Now with the Unix service running on Windows you can create a new print queue on the Mac using LPD instead of Windows. For the Host Name you can enter the IP address of Windows and the Queue Name is the printer share name on Windows. Then add the same driver as being used currently and you should be okay to print without having to enter any user info.

    Hi,
    Airprint does not support Black ink only printing, however the HP ePrint app allow it.
    Be aware that the option is only available for documents (e.g Office files, PDFs, Web pages and emails) but not for Photo files.
    You may find the steps to get and use the app in the document below:

  • How to show masked links in PDF when printing?

    Hello
    Ive got a PDF where some hyperlinks are masked behind certain words. For digital use of this document this is fine. However when printing I would like to have the full link to be printed (eg as a comment or on top of the word which contains the link). Is there a possibility to do this with Acrobat?
    thanks

  • How to get the connected screen off when connected

    When I connect my iPod nano (4th gen - I believe) to both my car (through the AUX jack with a USB cord) and to my computer, the screen that says "Connected Eject before disconnecting" comes up and won't go away - even after it syncs and everything. In the car, it will plays some music but since I can't see my screen or any of my playlists I can't change the song or anything from the iPod. On the computer, I can click the eject button and the screen goes away and all if fine except that it obviously isn't connected and then won't sync. When the iPod isn't connected to the computer or the car it works fine. HELP!

        Hello, ghost3947-
    I am sure this would be quite frustrating! Let's take a look at that! Please ensure there is no debris in the HDMI port on the device. If dust, lint, etc get in that port, it can cause these sort of glitches. After you verify the port is clear, and it continues, please move on to a factory hard reset (http://tinyurl.com/9bgrztr) to resolve the concern. After the reset, the phone will walk you through activation and signing back into Google services. Keep me posted!
    Thanks,

  • How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

    Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac.  What do I do to avoid this?
    I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network.  When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening.  Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out.  Is there anything else I need to check?

    I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:

  • Change default paper size on Preview when printing

    When I open the print window on Preview (ver 7.0) to print a .pdf file, the default paper size is always A4, which I never use; I use US Letter instead. Is there a way to change the default paper size to US Letter so I don't have to change it every time I print or forget completely? I tried looking under Preview preferences, but no luck.
    I use my MBP in the Japanese language (in Japan they use A4 as main paper size), but I live in the US. Is this the cause of this problem?

    Having the region set to Japan will have set the default to A4 but you can change it by opening Printers & Scanners and changing the setting "Default Paper Size" from A4 to US Letter.

  • How do I stop the Adobe Popup when printing?

    I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. I create from multiple programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD.  I create them using Adobe as a printer, thus printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created from the other program via printing to Adobe, the new PDF file pops up for viewing. I am ok with this; however I then click onto another program and after a few second the PDF pops up again. Even if I close it a few seconds later it pops up again. When I am printing multiple sheets out of a program I am jumping back and forth and the popup feature slows me up big-time or causes me to mess up the files I am working with.
    How do I stop the Adobe Popup?

    That fixed the problem of the printing taking over the screen multiple times. I would like to have a solution where the finished file shows "PDF results" once, letting me know that the file has been created successfully, then let me get back to another program. Maybe this can be an upgrade with the next version.

  • How to make tiny squares not appear when printing?

    I have Adobe Pro X and I am having issues with printing. When I print a pdf document, sometimes the text is replaced by squares.  I have determined that this is caused by certain font.  I know for a fact that the pre set font used in "add text box" is one of those fonts.  I have read that you can embed fonts and that will solve the problem of the squares. 
    This image is of a sample of the issue. I have to take product documentation for manufacturers and provide these to clients for approval.  So, this issue is not directed at just one manufacturer provided pdf. The squares also appear in the text box at the top. 
    Questions:
    1.  How do you change the pre set font in the "add text box"?
    2.  How do you determine the font of a pdf document?
    3.  What is the step by step process to embedd a particular font?

    When you use the "Add text box" (also known as the Typewriter tool), you're actually placing an  annotation on the PDF. You can see this if you open the Comments pane and view the Comments List. You can change the font for the annotation by using the Selection tool and then double-clicking on the text. This will bring up the Typewriter tool properties where you can see what font is being used and change it if necessary. In your case, you don't need to embed the font because you're working within an annotation. What you'll need to do instead is to flatten the annotation so that it becomes part of the page content and no longer editable as an annotation. To flatten an annotation you can use the Preflight tool (which is only part of Acrobat Pro. When you open the Preflight tool, twirl open the PDF fixups arrow and select "Flatten annotation and form fields".

  • How do I remove the header/footer when printing from ipad safari?

    I'm trying to print invoices from a web app I'm using in safari on my ipad1. When I print there doesn't seem to be anyway not to include the header and footer that prints by default with Safari. I'd rather not have to use a second app just to print and go back and forth to the browser. Any ideas on this?
    The printing itself is no issue at all and I'm using an HP6500A plus over an airport extreme in case you need those details.

    I have been bumping up against this issue in the last few days. I have redone my output as PDF and that works OK - i.e. There are no Safari footer details on the AirPrint printed page.
    But now I find that PDF documents frequently print with white space bands across the page (chopping off some of the text). I can even replicate this when pinch zooming on my iPad with a PDF document. So I suspect a bug in the PDF processing functionality within IOS. I am running IOS 4.3 so I had better update to see if the issue goes away.

  • How to remove CPI Logo from Guest Users Printed Credentials?

    Hi all,
    I recently migrated from NCS 1.1.2.12 to PI 2.1 for one of my customers.
    My concern is related to the printed credentials for Guest Users on a WLAN which uses Web Authentication, this credentials are generated by Lobby Ambassador accounts.
    When I print the credentials for Guest Users, the Cisco Prime Logo is included at the top of the printed paper, which is something that did not happen in NCS prior to the migration.
    Do you guys know if there is a way to remove that Cisco Prime logo so this is not printed along with the credentials? 
    Thank you in advance.
    Calvillo

    Hi Nour,
    Sorry, it is not a concern... I think I should've used the word "doubt" instead.
    I also thought that removing the PI logo was not possible but want to make sure before confirming this to the customer. He just doesn't want the logo to appear on the paper.
    Thanks!
